where is the habit of reading

                          Reading

   Reading is a process when consciousness of an n individual is highly active. Why there is a decrease in the number of people who love books compared to old days?

 

                                        The innate nature of a human being is to seek pleasure. From womb to tomb his inclination is to ward off pain, difficulties in his life. From dawn to dusk his activities are tuned to be executed in such a way that there is maximum profit with less effort.

                            

   An individual reads different things with different aims in mind. Aims of reading vary from success in exam to sheer pleasure in reading to improve oneself.

 

                                     If a person starts to engage in serious reading for self improvement, he has to discipline himself in such a way that he should find time and space in his daily routine for it. And, if he wishes to make the habit of reading a part and parcel of his life’s journey, he must be able to develop a biological as well as a mental disposition with which he can enjoy sitting in a more or less isolated place for hours on end and loss himself in the pages of the book.

 

                                   Hectic life style in the modern world deprives individuals of this nature of biological and psychological disposition. He cant sit calm for some time. He is always in the grip of worries and tensions. So he is always after what is easier and quicker methods of gathering information to keep himself updated. So he replaces books by visual media like TV, cinema etc. which decides in what way he must think and how he should think about various happenings around him. He is

Not a master of his own world of thoughts.

 

                               This is how media work like a virus upon reading culture. But a handful of people recognize the virus beforehand and install an antivirus program to guard themselves against being eaten the valuable files of wisdom.

I guess I have that antivirus. I love to read. I cant go to sleep without atleast few pages of the book i've been reading. Its a fun hobby and its a good way to stay in touch with your own thoughts for a while. You can curl up with a book and read it when theres no one around.

Half of my books are bursting at the seems because i just cant get enough of them. Its a good hobby to inculcate and very fruitful too !!
